Dr Benjamin Y.H. Loh is a media scholar that employs digital ethnography to study online communities and the digital public sphere in Malaysia and the region. Having received his PhD in Communications and New Media from the National University of Singapore, he focuses much of his work on the confluence between technology and society, with a particular focus on minority and marginalized communities.

He is currently a senior lecturer at the School of Media and Communication at Taylor’s University.

The government’s bungling efforts so far have led to a growing perception that it is hypocritical, unsympathetic and disconnected from the reality on the ground. A coherent strategy is needed combining sensible health, social and political responses.
